List of Resistance Orders Reapers Main article: Reapers If a bonus appears as a Continent Bonus, it will not appear as a Resistance Order and vice versa. Some Resistance Orders and Continent Bonuses overlap with one another. Resistance Orders cannot be re-chosen until the month ends, where the player is able to switch or add new Orders to fit the situation. Upgrading the Resistance Ring provides more universally-usable slots (up to 3) while improving Influence with Resistance Factions opens up slots (up to 2 for each faction) for faction-specific Orders.Īll Resistance Orders with "I" and "II" are stackable if both Orders are chosen. Initially, each contacted Resistance Faction provides two Resistance Orders and a single slot available for any Order to activate in. Resistance Orders are applied at the start of each month via a special screen that allows them to pick from the available Resistance Orders. Resistance Orders are able to affect a wide variety of things on both the strategy layer and tactical combat layer of the game with effects such as decreasing facility construction time, increasing Intel gains, or providing a bonus soldier on a mission. They are able to be used when the Resistance Ring facility is constructed. Resistance Orders are special passive bonuses from the Resistance Factions that can benefit the player in unique ways. Resistance Orders are a new strategy layer mechanic introduced in XCOM 2: War of the Chosen.
